What an elation last week when this little eight year old girl unknowingly wrapped herself in my love for her. Her thought was simply to warm her freezing hands! But I knew that the mitts would someday warm her freezing heart... or mine.

Some have asked me why I bother to knit when I have so many other things to do. This is the reason why: for the joy of seeing someone you love pull your work out of their pocket and slip it on their hands, around their neck, over their head.

This is just hobby, if it relax you, why shouldn't you do it?:)
Every stitch weaves a loving thought from the heart.
They are so cute...your daughter's a lucky girl but then your a lucky mum xox ;D
Mom's always have time to make more love for their family -- :) These are lovely.
awww! and now you've warmed our hearts too!
Aww, isn't it the best? That one little part of watching someone you love put on your knits makes all the time and "expense" worth it.
Those mitts say "LOVE"
So sweet!
Love the heart and your beautiful handiwork.
These are great. Handmade stuff is always the best.
You do such beautiful work
Alli, you will both be blessed with warm memories that fill any future void.

Its the little things like knitting or cooking for the ones we love that bring us such joy. When my kids come home and I have cooked their favorite meal there is such a feeling of happiness from them. I get almost giddy
No snow yet:(
I can't believe my mom didn't comment on this. I bet it made her cry, she feels the same way about her knits!
